What's New

The following features are available in this version that were not available in the previous versions:

In version 5.2.0:

• More than one person can now open the same file at the same time.  Only the first person will be able to save changes to the file.  The rest be able to open the file as read-only ('[Read-Only]' will appear in the window title).
• The default format can be set for Rich text pages in the Options, but will not automatically change the format of existing pages
• The 'Show/Hide Page Pane' menu has been changed to 'Auto Hide Page Pane', which means that the page pane will shrink until you move the mouse cursor over it, which will enlarge it to the normal size.  This setting is saved in the file.
• After saving, your name will appear as the last person who last saved the file in the File Properties dialog box
• Identified bugs were fixed

In version 5.1.1:

• When renaming certain pages that require a file extension, this is retained even if you do not type the extension yourself.  This is to prevent crashes, which used to occur when the extension was omitted.

In version 5.1.0:

• Pictures can be added into NoteBook from your scanner and camera using the Scanner/Camera Image (TWAIN) dialog box
• Miscellaneous bugs fixed

In version 5.0.27:
